A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO.
How Seth Warner Won a Wife and
Became Famous.


Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont,
the famous hero of the Revolutions
ry war, was a leading fighter for the
Hampshire grants. These titles were
disputed by the State of New York,
and its authorities obtained an edict
of the King of England in their favor.
The settlers were stung by the sup
posed injustice. This state of things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the
front. With Ethan Allen and others
he actively opposed every effort of the
New York state authorities to en-
force possession, and finally he, with
Allen and others, were outlawed
and a price put on their heads
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should 90
into that state and gain required in
formation. Colonel Warner, assum-
ing, for safety the name of CDR.
Howard" undertook this perilous
and romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at a country inn, where an old gen
tleman and daughter were storm
bound. The father fell i'll and the
daughter called upon Colonel War
ner,Iwho, with his wide knowledge
of simple remedies, successfully treat
ed the " old man." and he finally
won this devoted woman for a wife.
Such incidents were not uncom-
mon in those years. When the doc
tor was not easily reached, menths of
sickness, and even life were often
saved by some unprofessional friend
versed in the use of simple herbs and
roots. The health of early settlers
and their powers of endurance con-
vince us that such medicine did only
good and left no poison in the blood
to work as much injury to the sys-
tenn as would the disease ITSELF.
In time of peace the Colonel was in
constant demand for his knowledge
of simple remedies and their power
over disease. But it was left to an
other of his name of the present age
to give to the public what was then
used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years
has shared with Ethan Allen the adj
miration of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to q
family of wide distinction (; no less
than eight members thereof won
fame in the regular practice of med.
icine.
Looking to the adoption by the
people of this generation of the old
time simple remedies, his direct de.
scendant, H. H. Warner, the we'll
known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been expe
rimenting with old time roots anC
herbs formule and his search having
been finally rewarded with success, he
gives the world the result. These re
, cipes and formule in other days &C
complished great things because they
were purely vegetable and combined
| simply so as to cure the disease indi
, Gated, without injury to the system
} In harmony with their old time
character, we learn that he propose
; to call them Warmers Log CabiI
Remedies, using as a trademark al
old-fashioned American log cabin
We understand that he intends t
3 put forth a " Sarsaparilla for tn,

E catarrh, called LOG Cabin Ros

or independently, as required.
Warmers safe remedies r alread,
standards of the most pronounce,
scientific value in all parts Of tn
world, and we have no doubt. tn
{ Log Cabin Remedies, for the disease
y they are intended to cure, will be c
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has tn
